Systems Engineers

Job Description:

We are recruiting for a number of Systems Engineering roles from a variety of backgrounds and skillsets, working on real engineering problems, designing and developing solutions that sit at the heart of our products. Based upon your skills and foundation knowledge, we will assess where your knowledge and skills would best fit and discuss the options with you.

Dependent on the role and phase of work we are able to offer roles that allow hybrid working, although some roles will require working on-site. Talk to us to discover more.

Due to the nature of our work, you must be capable of achieving a minimum of SC security clearance and may require access to caveated information such as UK eyes only. Please see the UK National Security Vetting site for more details.

Some roles may require office-based working, based at Luton, Bristol or Lincoln.

Current ongoing work:

Protection systems for current RAF aircraft and export customers, including Typhoon and Apache

Technology development for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), developing Tempest, the next generation fighter aircraft that will replace the RAF’s Typhoon

Concept demonstrators for future Electronic warfare technologies and systems

Drawing insight from the vast amounts of data collected by our electronic surveillance systems through artificial intelligence and machine learning

What you’ll do as a Systems Engineer:

Our Systems Engineers work in multidisciplinary teams spanning a range of activities pulling together the necessary engineering and technology strands into a high-performance system, bridging the gap between the theoretically possible and the practically implementable.

Typical work you might be involved in:

Early concept studies investigating the application of new technology on future platforms

Engaging with stakeholders, defining requirements for a new system

Conducting cost and functional performance trade-offs and evaluation of proposed solutions

Enhancing capabilities and performance of in-service systems

Designing and integrating new functionality into an existing system

Modelling a system to understand observed simulated performance

Development of capability within limitations and constraints of the target hardware

Root-cause analysis of anomalies observed during integration or evaluation activities

Designing and conducting testing and trials to prove equipment function and performance

Opportunities to lead technical activities and initiatives

Mentoring and coaching other engineers

Creating and delivering reports, presentations and proposals to customers and industry partners

Supporting knowledge sharing and exploitation of good practice

What we need from you:

A science-based Honours degree or equivalent experience

Industrial or academic research experience

Experience or a desire to gain electronic warfare domain knowledge

A desire to further your engineering knowledge through training, team working and mentoring

Knowledge of the systems engineering lifecycle, particularly in the following areas:

Problem definition
